• People & Team Development: Oversee hiring, onboarding, scheduling, and staff training to ensure employees deliver exceptional hospitality.
• Food Safety & Cleanliness: Enforce strict health, hygiene, and workplace safety guidelines.
• Business Growth: Execute marketing plans, drive promotions, and analyze sales projections to maximize store profitability.

Your vibe
While previous experience working in food service as a manager is helpful and appreciated, what is most important is who you are.
You lead by example and are accountable. You have high expectations and consistently raise the bar for yourself and your team. When confronted with a situation, you can assess and problem-solve with confidence. You put people before profit, knowing that creating a positive culture leads to happier, more engaged staff who will deliver a better experience for your guests.
